![]() ![]() Its a 15 hour drive out there and it was only the last couple hours I started to get uncomfortable but for 13 hours I felt like I was driving a couch.Īveraged 21-22 mpg on the way out with 250 miles on it but on the way back I was getting 24-25! I figure it broke in on the drive back (cruise set at 72 mph)īottom line is I love this thing and highly recommend it. Just drove this thing to Texas and back (2200 miles total) and this thing rode like a dream! Im a pretty big dude and it had plenty of room for me, the wife, baby and all our gear. Tell us what you end up doing and how you like the car. I doubt Ill keep this car for 250,000 miles but 125-140,000 is definitely a possibility so while I doubt I need $20/qt oil, I do want a very high level of protection. The one demanding thing I do is car audio competitions in which the engine is idling with the AC running for several hours at a time in the summer. Id say overall Im about 60% freeway and 40% stop-and-go. ![]() This is the nicest car Ive ever owned so I will probably drive this like Im a 85 year old blue haird woman. I tend to baby my cars and drive them like theyre made out of glass. I live in the southeast so I dont get extreme heat or cold at least not for more than a day or two. Assuming I use Motorcaft oil and filter, is 7500 as insane as it sounds to me? My free oil changes are only every 7500 miles so I was thinking of doing one myself at 4000 then taking it in for the free one at 7500 and so on. Are these high quality as well or would I be better served bringing a Mobil 1 with me for them to use?ģrd would be intervals. Ive got free oil changes at my Ford dealer for 3 years which Im sure theyll be using Motorcraft filters. That sound about right? I cant find any results searching for 3.5L Duratec but does anyone know how these engines are wearing and what other oils guys are running?Ģnd is how about Motorcraft oil filters. From searching and reading, this seems to be a regarded around here as a very high quality oil. Naturally the recommended oil is Motorcraft 5W20. Hi guys, just bought a 2010 Ford Edge 3.5L Duratec V6 and have a few questions. ![]()
